Currently, the Republicans control both the House and the Senate, making a third impeachment very unlikely.

Summary

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump for a third time are intensifying as he begins his second term.

The non-partisan group Free Speech For People launched the “Impeach Trump. Again” campaign, citing constitutional violations, including his alleged role in the January 6 Capitol riots and breaches of the emoluments clause.

The group also accuses Trump of campaign finance violations, xenophobic rhetoric, and abuse of power.

However, impeachment remains unlikely with Republicans controlling Congress. Democrats may revisit impeachment if they regain control in 2026.

    It was a bandaid on a festering wound of already financialized Healthcare, it’s just continued to get worse as expected because the ACA was a half ass attempt at actually brining Healthcare to the people.

      There was no large scale takeover of healthcare by Wall Street. There is a big difference between commercialization and financialization. By pumping billions into health are and allowing investors to siphon those billions right back out again, the ACA created a feeding frenzy. I’m old enough to remember a healthcare system that was largely owned and managed by medical professionals, not hedge funds and private equity.

      Then, of course, there are the larger impacts of income inequality that this exacerbated. The ACA was one of many things done by both Republicans and Democrats that turned this country into a Russian style oligarchy.

      It’s not incidental that the design for the ACA came from the same right wing think tank that produced project 2025. It’s all part of the same project.

        It’s not incidental that the design for the ACA came from the same right wing think tank that produced project 2025. It’s all part of the same project.

        Actually, no. The design for the ACA was actually based on the healthcare reforms put in place by Mitt Romney when he was governor of Massachusetts, which were considered very popular and successful. The problem is that when they tried to make it go national, Republicans in general didn’t want to give Obama a win, so they gutted it as much as possible.

        Romneycare was pretty god damned good, even after the gutting it’s taken over the years. If the ACA was built on what Romneycare originally was, we’d probably be in much better shape than we’re in now.
